BootGlide™: Patented Easy-On Boot Technology
BootGlide™ is Laetts’ patented innovation designed to make boots slide on and off with less friction, less fatigue, and more freedom. Whether you’re suiting up for a ski day, snowmobiling, or managing post-injury stiffness, BootGlide™ transforms the beginning and end of every winter adventure.


How it Work
BootGlide™ uses a precision-engineered yarn system that reduces friction against the inner boot wall while maintaining warmth and support. It integrates:
- Low-Friction Technical Yarns
Specially selected yarns create a smooth interface between sock and boot liner. - Structured Flex Zones
Strategically placed zones provide gentle compression and ease over instep and heel, where friction is usually highest. - Dual-Direction Glide Mechanism
Engineered for both entry and exit, the yarn blend resists snagging and bunching even after hours of wear.
Why it Matters
BootGlide™ isn’t just about comfort. It’s about independence and performance.
🥼 Supports mobility for people with stiff ankles, post-surgery recovery, or reduced flexibility
❄️ Reduces effort when pulling on ski boots, snowboarding gear, or tight trail footwear
⏳ Saves time getting in and out of gear before and after cold adventures
🏅 Maintains thermal performance without adding bulk or compromising sock fit


From Patent to Performance
BootGlide™ is now officially patented, following successful field testing and design validation. The granted claims include:
“A low-friction knit construction formed of multi-filament and moisture-managing yarns, configured to reduce resistance when entering and exiting a boot.”
Every pair of Laetts socks with BootGlide™ includes this system, knitted into the structure—not added on as a surface finish.

Built for Real Winter Movement
From competitive skiers to aging adventurers, BootGlide™ is built to help you move freely, stay warm, and waste less energy on your gear. It performs best when paired with HygroHeat™ for warmth and Laetts Compression for circulation.
